Index fingers through thumb loops?

I think maybe it is being held between flat palms, with the thumb and index finger 'bracketing' the

thumb loops giving rise to the illusion that the index fingers are passing through the thumb loops?

Has  anyone    obtained  information  from  Steve  Dickenson  to  confirm details  on this  instrument  ?

3750$ - a realistic price! I dropped out well below....

And now  that  company  is  selling a second  Dickenson-Wheatstone  Aeola!!  

Metal  ended  56, it looks  similar  but, they say, slightly smaller .

They make the same mistake, claiming that it was made in 1975. It is SN 60085.

I contacted the seller. They bought a collection of rare musical instruments including the two Aeolas...
